Ans.     Several days of restlessness in lockdown


It was 20 March of 2020. Sarah was very happy because her family was going to have a tour to Saint Martin Island the next week. She was watching TV with a jolly mood. Suddenly- a news popped up--"Government has declared lockdown for a period of 15 days all over the country with a view to controlling the spread of Coved-19 and protecting people from being infected with it.

Sarah's heart sank with disappointment. She had longed to visit Saint Martin for ages, and all the arrangements had been made, only for everything to fall through. Despite the passing of several days, movement was severely restricted, with people hesitant to venture out even for urgent needs.

During this trying time, Sarah's mother fell ill. She exhibited symptoms such as a high fever, coughing, and a sore throat, indicating a possible COVID-19 infection. The family was gripped with fear, knowing that hospitals were refusing to admit patients. Despite numerous calls for ambulances, none arrived, leaving them in tears.

Finally, after persistent efforts, they managed to secure an ambulance by dialing 999. Swiftly, it arrived at their doorstep and transported Sarah's mother to a government hospital, where they were greeted warmly. She was admitted to the intensive care unit while they anxiously waited in the lounge.

A doctor reassured them, noting that her breathing was normal. Subsequently, she was tested for COVID-19, but since the results would take two days, they had to leave the hospital.

Returning home fraught with worry, they awaited the verdict. Two agonizing days later, they returned to the hospital. By the grace of Allah, the test came back negative, bringing immense relief. The doctor attributed her illness to a common cold, alleviating their concerns. Prescribed medication in hand, they brought her back home, expressing gratitude to Allah.

Sarah's mother rejoiced at reuniting with her family, her spirits lifted by their presence. In the face of uncertainty and fear, their faith and resilience had seen them through, reaffirming their belief in the power of hope and gratitude.
